**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

This book offers for the first time a balanced history of the naval war as a whole, viewed from the perspective of all participants in all major theaters. There have been a number of studies published on the activities of British and German navies during World War I, but little on naval action in other arenas. The author's earlier examination The Naval War in the Mediterranean, 1914-1918, centered on submarine activities and allied efforts to counteract this new menace. With this welcome sequel he again takes the reader beyond those World War I operations staged on the North Sea.
